I have tested it on the xt1023 but from what i am told it should work on all models because supersu.zip is universal and same with TWRP if i am not mistaken.

doesn't reboot into recovery
Everything seems ok during the process but when the phone reboots it stays in the Motorola logo/Android screen, never moving on to TWRP. This also happened when I tried the normal Fastboot method. Bootloader is unlocked and usb debugging is checked, of course.
Any ideas?
edit:
More info-
1. The only command that seems to work on my phone is when I install stock recovery.
2. When I go into bootloader and try to restart in any mode but normal restart I get a blank screen
3. I previously bricked my phone by doing something stupid so I reflashed one of the factory firmwares-
RETUAWS_XT1023_4.4.2_KXC20.82-15_cid9_CFC.xml
Could this be the source of my problem?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Thanks for the nice video; however I just have a problem when trying to go back to stock recovery to install the 4.4.4 update that is recently pushed to Moto E devices; I want to go back to stock recovery as it does not gets installed with any custom recovery.
I tried the said method 4-5 times but it gives me with a dead android icon when trying to get to stock recovery..
Please help me to get 4.4.4 on my device.

Update won't work if you have modded system partition in any way. Even if its just blotware uninstalled. Just flash system partition only and it should work. The .1 .2 .3 file extension files I mean

The issue was my rooted device, I had to unroot, install stock ROM as I had removed plenty of bloatware..update success, re-root and enjoy!!!!
Posting steps to benefit someone who may be facing the same issue as I was..

Hey guys. My little brother just got a Moto E, and I'm trying to get it rooted/Recovery'd.
I'm using your toolkit, but so far, no luck. Doesn't want to root, nor install recovery. It's stuck on "waiting for device".
I don't know what's wrong. I checked that USB debugging was on, and he unlocked his bootloader earlier. Everything should be fine.
But, it doesn't work.
Could someone provide some help, please ?
Thanks.

Did you extract the zip to your desktop? And are the right drivers installed also try using a different USB cable or port.

Chinese Fastboot Mode?

Hey everyone!
So, I flashed dalvik and bionic optimizations for the OnePlus One that I found over on the Nexus 5. When I booted back up into Android, all of my apps were missing, and everything kept on crashing. So, I booted into Fastboot Mode, but instead of the Cid logo which is usually presented, this message came up:
己进人fastboot...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The English translation is roughly "You have entered fastboot...". Everything still worked fine. I flashed my system partition back, and everything was okay. But, strangely, the Chinese fastboot message still appears instead of Cid. I kinda want Cid back...does anyone have any solutions? And yes, my phone is the international model.

i also have the same screen for fastboot. to make it worst i dont have root access but have a chinese version of cwm on the device. donno what to do.

Maybe you should flash bootloader from CM11S factory image. File name is sbl1.mbn
i have an chinese version OPO , my bootloader is cid after i flash stock image.
btw,it's 已进入fastboot. they are very similar.

Well you can also try flashing the logo.bin partition from the CM11S image cyngn has at https://cyngn.com/products/oneplusone/, but if your bootloader is already in chinese, you might just want to flash the device back to full stock using the fastboot image.

Yeah, it will fully revert your device to the factory image. Once you are done, if you have the 64gb model, make sure to flash the userdata_64gb.img manually after otherwise your system will only show as 16gb.

Yeah...that's a bit too much to lose just to change how my fastboot looks. Thanks for your suggestion though.

So upon further research, it looks like this is the exact same fastboot screen that OPPO devices use!! Somehow, I've gotten the OPPO fastboot mode one my One! And OnePlus denies involvement with OPPO....

No Cellular Connectivity After Flashing Stock ROM on Google Play Moto G

I had the Google Play edition of the Moto G running the nightly builds of Cyanogenmod, and all things considered, it was going pretty well. However, after a while I noticed that my GPS seemed unable to get a lock. Later, it seemed unable to connect to mobile data, though all the other cellular functions worked just fine. I assumed this must have something to do with the CM nightlies.
The real trouble came when I tried restoring Motorola's stock firmware. Considering there aren't really any releases of the Google version of the Moto G firmware, I thought that was my best bet. I followed the instructions found here, rebooted, and found I was unable to use any of the cellular features, along with a helpful "No Service" icon in my status area. I have since reinstalled Cyanogenmod, and still have all the same issues.
Here is the About and About > Status pages for your reference:

I have read that similar issues can be caused by having a corrupted IMEI. However, I've pulled the pds partition off the device, mounted it, and found the following files:
Code:
batt_health bt camera factory lost+found pds_formatted_v10 public security whisper wifi wmdrm
and I see an IMEI in the phone status, so I would assume that it is fine.
Is it possible the firmware for the modem is not functioning properly? As a rather low priority, any tips on debugging GPS would be helpful too.
Thanks!

You probably haven't reflashed the correct GPE firmware...On XDA, there are many GPE firmwares most of which are modified to convert xt1032 and xt1033 to GPE by changing the radios and the fsg.bin file...Make sure you choose the original GPE firmware...

Sorry, I have a lot of tabs open and linked to the wrong thread. I got the stock GPE firmware from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2633272 and then even updated to 4.4.4 using the official OTA update which contained an fsg among other things.

Obviously the flashing process has not been complete. Since there is currently no 4.4.4 GPE image, you could try the 4.4.4 Retail EU image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54757500&postcount=348
Do all of the fastboot commands manually and report back any errors. In particular, ensure the following commands are included:
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2​

I have written(/erased) and rewritten everything several times with fastboot, especially NON-HLOS.bin and modemst(1|2) parts. I begrudgingly did it one more time as you requested, and..... it worked. You seriously have the magic touch or something.
Thank. You.
thankyouthankyouthankyou. Whatever you did. XD
Second question: Even after the above fix, my mobile data didn't work until I manually added an APN with the data on my provider's website. One of the reasons I had started flashing roms in the first place, before I managed to break it, was that one day my mobile data stopped working.
When I set up my phone, the APN's seemed to pop up out of nowhere and everything worked just fine. Why did I manually have to add one now?
Thanks again!

I haven't had any APN issues personally. The app Tweakker is one option that you might find useful:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tweakker&hl=en​
EDIT: 4.4.4 GPE Firmware Image now available: (Perhaps a solution to your APN issue)

[Q] no os installed when trying to reboot

Hello community!
This is my very first thread and i seriously hope you can help me out.
I have a OnePlus One. Some time ago I tried to flash a custom rom onto it (OxygenOS), without having any idea how to do that. I took the zip from the official OnePlus site. Obviously, my flashing a custom rom did not work out. Somehow I must have deleted something I should not have: When I try to boot it now it just shows a 'powered by android' screen and doesn't move on from that. Now I already managed to load TWRP onto the phone. When I copied a flashable.zip onto the phone via android file transfer and then unzipped it, that worked. But then I said 'reboot' and the phone said 'No OS installed'.
I don't know how to solve this issue. Please help me out!
Greetings from Austria,
Clemens

Don't unzip, choose the zip in TWRP - Install. And then swipe to install it.
Btw, is it oxygen os zip?

You don't need to unzip it, it's a flashable zip so you just leave it as it is and install it with TWRP recovery. Full directions in my guide thread here:

What version of TWRP are you using? What's the exact fill filename of the Oxygen zip that you're trying to flash? Have you done anything to the zip, as in modified it in any way?

I'm not sure what type of twrp I am using
the filename is: oxygenos_1.0.0 (1).zip
and no, i have just downloaded the zip from the official oneplus website/link

The version of TWRP should be right at the top of the screen when you are in TWRP, it'll be 2.8.6.0 or something like that. Anyway, I think the main problem here is that you're trying to flash the wrong zip, extract the zip on your PC and tell me what's in it.

-oxygen_1.0.0_flashable.md5
-oxygen_1.0.0_flashable.zip
this is what is in the zip
I also tried only the flashable.zip on my phone-same reaction.
This is what's in the flashable.zip:
META-INF
recovery
system
boot.img
emmc_appsboot.mbn
logo.bin
NON-HLOS.bin
reserve4.img
rpm.mbn
sbl1.mbn

Alright, you were trying to flash the wrong zip, it's the oxygen_1.0.0_flashable.zip that you're meant to flash. I can't open that link because that's a local come on your PC. I still need to know what version of TWRP you have installed, it may be too old.

I am using v2.8.0.1
and I already tried the oxygen_1.0.0_flashable.zip; doesnt work either

Works great, was a fun night of figuring this out together glad it worked out! Everything is functioning properly!
Just remember when you first load into TWRP you will need to go to wipe > format data and type yes.
This will erase all data so be sure to backup all your personal files to your SD card using the phone before you format. Then proceed to use the above instructions!

I got it flashed successfully and can get to it but it's asking for a decrypt password. I never set one up, so I'm not sure what to do. I still tried to format but it gives an error about inability to mount.
Edit - even with the error, it still has me set up Android again but it still wants a decrypt password and I can't mount.

I got it figured out. I rebooted directly back to TWRP after formatting the data and it mounted.

ah ok. Thanks for letting me know

Its normal. look at the other threads for twrp they always say to format the data after a reboot. Maybe add it to your tutorial thingy.
Edit: Thanks a lot guys its a lot more fun with root and TWRP. (>^.^)>

Thank you for this! Once my sata cables come in the mail and I get my Windows copy up and running on my second hard drive I need to create an ISO .img from the KDZ file you gave me. Need to get my phone back to stock, and im thankful you guys got TWRP working on this great phone.

Create a IMG from kdz? Don't you just use the kdz in lg up or something to reflash?

That sounds like allot less pain in the ass. Can you give me a quick breakdown of how to reset into stock using the KDZ. Dont need go type paragraps or anything just a brief summary this is all new to me.

Heres a tutorial. Its made for the aristo 1 but im sure it should work with the aristo 2. Use the lg up program.here
Just make sure to use the kdz made for the aristo 2 that you already have.
Forgot you may need uppercut aswell. here sometimes it gives a error which uppercut fixes.

Has anyone tried any other cameras with this phone? I was thinking of trying to flash CameraNext or SnapDragon but I've never tried either on a stock rom, so I'm not sure whether I'd bootloop.

I love the Google Camera, just sucks that it saves strictly to Internal.

It only works up to be version 3 right? That's the last one I could find for non arm64.

Hey guys quick question... So I accidentally wiped system and didn't make a backup. I can get into twrp but have no os to flash. What can I do to get my phone working again? Sorry and thanks!

I am trying to find good camera apps for this phone because the stock one is not that good. I will try those two that you have just posted.

I've tried finding other LG camera apps but none would work. Let me know how CameraNext works (if it does).
OpenCamera is giving me terrible quality.
Bacon Camera seems ok.
Google Camera is ok, but limited.
That's all I've tried. I know this camera should be capable of some good pictures.
Edit - I found an APK only install for CameraNextMod v10. This might be the best we can get with this camera unless the zip versions are compatible. Here's a link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aLdiT1B2TcDFL0vfcmwYz6L7EdxqgFKj/view?usp=sharing

So, I just went back into TWRP for the first time since and it's still asking for a password to decrypt. I don't want to wipe everything again. Any ideas? Nothing is mounted and I can't mount without the password.
